Me dad brother and I in 1970 rebuilt a 41' Ercoupe. Dad would have us hand flip the blades so he could start and test it. In our driveway. The neighbors thought we were all nuts. Took the winter all inspected doped the wings like a model. Fun to fly like a go cart. Lots of memories. it was a barn find and the oldboy passed the wifey sold it to us. I think we paid 2500$ spent three grand on the rebuild. Sold it bought a Beech Bonanza.

Flying an Aircoupe was so much fun. Having your elbow out the window like in a car.

That's an inspiring video. Is it OK if I say that I want Sam AND I want that Ercoupe? 🙂 That airplane has always been one of my favorites. I missed the opportunity to buy one and chose a Cessna instead and I probably made a mistake. The most common error (IMHO) that Ercoupe owners make: paint scheme design. In this case, that solid red color is absolutely brilliant. I love it! Keep the blue sky up and thanks for posting this!

I’m actually thinking of purchasing the Ercoupe once I get my PPL. What are you thoughts on this aircraft?

Great value! Really depends on your mission and budget

@@SamandKadenGoPlaces I’m giving myself a budget of $35K. Mission- simple hundred hamburger and distance no greater than 500 miles. But I am concerned about useful load concerning being 5’10/250lbs.

If you are flying near sea level or alone you should be fine

@@devildogkilodon’t top off the tanks. Fill to about 15 gallons max. That’s two hors of flying and an hour reserve. Hamburger runs are rarely more than an hour away. They make a decent cross country machine. At my weight and useful load, I could carry full fuel. 24 gallons. That’s about 4.5 hours but I rarely flew more than two hour hops on long cross countries. My Coupe had a C-85 Stroker engine that gives about 93 horsepower. I cruised at 118 mph. $35k budget can get you a very nice Coupe. Should have modem avionics and ADSB out. You can have a blast in an Ercoupe.

@@Trvlrxxx Fsntastic!!! Thanks for commenting and passing on the 4-1-1. My mission is simply jumps to NorCal, Catalina Island, Burbank and/or Vegas from the San Francisco area. I’m not looking to travel Warp speed, as I plan on a lot of stops for sightseeing.
